A math-test unlike most, in that the math involved is very simple - it's thinking about the problem that takes most of the work.
And to help the student, there's a spreadsheet with animations for several of the problems, to provide help gain a bit of intuition into the problem.
The questions also are intended to provide a brief look at different subjects: astronomy, statistics, geometry, fractals, and yes, NKS.
Problem #9 is a simple Pascal's triangle, but the spreadsheet tab is the animated 1d-eca.
Take a look - give it a try!
